Thanks! Nope, I made it up. But, I’m certain that I borrowed the motif of many Suns from some poetry I’ve read.

In the morning I greet a bleary, foggy eyed sun. At noon, I see a cruel and imposing sun. In the evening I see a sun, red and weeping into the sea. At night, where have my suns gone?

Totally understand! Glad to see that there is still an interesting story in there somewhere. I guess I jumped out gun calling the story fake. Makes sense that small insectivores would be in owl nests.

These are ai generated images, and the story is probably totally fabricated.

Note: The man is holding an inspection mirror right in front of the snake while looking directly at it. It doesn’t really make any sense, also the composition is simply A.I.

The image of the snakes around the nest doesn’t really make any physical sense.

Some people describe visual hallucinations as a component of body dysmorphia. Folks like this with serious eating disorders (like, going to kill themselves serious) are actually acting out of a delusion, not misinformed, rational thought.

CEO of sex and gaming… Is that you?

Love thier section on paint where the image model thinks the llm is talking about makeup

Are you looking for suggestions for a battery backup? How much are you willing to spend?

“You can’t steal a digital game” is borderline sovereign citizen talk. Artists operate within the structure of society. Just because the medium in which they deploy their art is digital and most distribution platforms feasible have licenses with unsavory terms, theft is not automatically justified.

That sort of logic could extend to the idea that it’s okay to squat in a particular ocupied house because the owner doesn’t own it, a bank does, and the money is imaginary, and the bank’s policies are unfair. There is something valid and authentic to the sentiment, but practically speaking, you’re still just being an asshole.

That is to say, extenuating circumstances may modify that. If you can’t afford a game, or if you really hate the developers, more people may agree with you. If you would freeze to death outside of the home, or, if the home’s current occupants occupy it unfairly, then perhaps people would be more empathetic.

But to declare that the wholesale theft of digital goods as fine just because you don’t like the platform is anarchy without any of the nuance of anarchy.

I feel like the current gas situation isn’t as valuable a talking point to Americans as people want it to be. Rent, food, medical care, car cost, etc are all already up by similar percentages or more and Republicans still aren’t rioting. They are delusional cultists.

Try recording yourself talking about the subject out loud in private. Like, in a car. I use a program called audacity to make a transcript, then I take parts I like to write. I find it’s easier to talk about things than write when experiencing block.

Bro don’t exaggerate, Factorio came out in early access in 2016. That’s only… 10… Years ago… 💀💀💀💀💀💀

I love how this is formatted like a poem

Most mp3s have the artist name in the metadata or title. And, even the most rudimentary platforms show this information front and center. It is not an ad. It is a feature we desire. We want to know who made it, so that we can understand its context, its subtexts, and yes, find the artist for more of their work.

Image files typically do not make use of these mechanisms, and certainly the platforms we view them on rarely do. The general convention is to ‘sign’ or watermark it instead.

It is as simple as that. To remove the signature of a webcomic is like stripping an mp3 of all metadata and making the filename a random string. It’s fundamentally an inconvenience to everyone involved. No one wants this.

(This is not to mention that the wholesale removal of attribution and complete divorce of creator and creation serves the ultimate goals of corporations. They’ve done it with food (where does your milk come from), furniture (who made your chair), and now with art (who made this comic?)

You seem to be conflating an ad (buy JokoMolk brand milk!) With attribution (this milk was produced at x farm). Perhaps, if we better understood the orgins of things, we might make informed decisions!)

I would like to mirror another commentor and mention that Shougo is Japanese and probably issuing Claude to communicate.

It’s kind of similar, I think. I mean most store bought bread is low quality compared to the artisinal product. Corporations don’t care if the product sucks so long as they can replace the worker.

This is such a weird post. Is it satirical? Baking as a profession functionally does not exist anymore.

At this point it’s literally cheaper and easier to fight WWIII IRL.
